Driving
Precise, confidence-inspiring handling: a very involving drive. That's what you buy them for.

Living with it
Reliability
For at 20 year old, surprisingly good, providing you maintain it proactively.
Image
Poor man's Porsche, but am I bothered? I think it's one of the prettiest cars ever made.
Comfort
Surprisingly soft, but supportive seats. Just the right amount of noise.
